"Look for the cherry trees dead Skipper we've found it
"Look for the cherry trees dead Skipper we've found it!" The two started celebrating.
The two creatures ran back to were the rest of the group were. Explaining what they had found the small group ran back to the cherry trees. Gonff looked around confused. "Okay so now what? Shouldn't there be a town or something around here? I mean there has to be something."
"Maybe we were too late." Garraway suggested. "But there is someone over there." An elderly hedgehog walked out, "Are you stealing my cherries. I won't have cherry thieves." Martin walked forward. "Sir we just wanted a drink. We're on a quest we thought there might be a village here or a group of people who needed help. The hedgehog seemed to calm down a bit. "The name's Aggril come with me I have some cherry cordial if you want some." The group followed the old hedgehog off to his home. A squirrel who had watched the whole thing jumped out of the tree. Quickly she found the otter she was with and told him to get more of the otters to help before following the group off. She knew Aggril all to well.
Aggril had a nice little house in the middle of the cherry grove. Martin couldn't shake of the feeling he had been there before. As he got the cherry cordial ready we explained what had happened to all the cherry trees. "It weren't that long ago some pirate stoat chappy found an army without a leader. He took over and poisoned the land and water. Last I heard he had taken over the nearest town can't remember for the life of me what it's called here you go." The group happily drank the cordial listening to what the old hedgehog had to say. None of them knew that the squirrel maid was watching.
Martin's head was thumping. He didn't know how long he had been asleep for. He listened to the gentle talking of some creatures in the room. He waited until the words started to make sense before he opened his eyes. "..finally out of the wheel-chair….. Martin matey glad to see you're still in the land of the living" Martin sat up. It was then he realised he was no longer in Aggril's small house but inside a boat. Sat on the other side of the boat were two otters and a squirrel. "Your friends are fine but I'm surprised you fell for that again Martin." The male otter said. The female otter kicked him. "Keyla that's rude. I'm sorry it's just that has been pulled on you before by Aggril, you were lucky that Trefoil spotted you lot talking to him." All the memories of the past suddenly started racing through Martin's head. "Please don't mention the past to my friends I never told them about it." Keyla nodded, "We won't but we're going to Noonvale and someone will say something." The female otter shook her head. "I'll swim there first and warn them." Trefoil who had mixing up a strange looking mixture looked up, "Tullgrew it's too dangerous you'll drown." Tullgrew smiled "I'll be fine. I'm the fastest swimmer besides none of your friends saw me, trust me okay." The female otter went out of one of the doors and was soon followed by a loud splash. Trefoil rolled her eyes and took the strange mixture over to Martin, "drink this. It'll stop your head hurting. Your friends are out on deck. We guessed you didn't tell them as when we said Noonvale it meant nothing to them." Martin drank the strange liquid and went out on deck. Gonff smiled at him. "Aye matey who would have known that hedgehog tried to poison us; you can't trust anyone these days." Martin smiled, all his worries of the past left him and soon enough they came to the end of the stream. Keyla came over to the group, "Bad news, we're going to have to walk the rest of the way." The, now, large group walked into Noonvale. Apart from a few odd looks from some creatures no one would have a clue that Martin had been there before. An old mouse maid came out. "Guests Keyla in these times. Well I'm sure we have enough food. Why don't you go into the main hall over there for some food." The Redwallers went off in the direction she pointed. Tullgrew went over to her, "Aryah do you know were Brome and the others are it's just I haven't warned them about Martin yet." Aryah shook her head, "No I don't I'm afraid, I have a feeling that when Martin and his friends leave Noovale they'll all know the truth of his past. Tullgrew nodded, "At least some good has come of this."
The Redwallers walked into the main hall were four creatures were sitting. Two of them had there back to the group. The two facing them was a mouse and a hedgehog. The two with their backs to them was a mouse maid and a mole. The mouse and the hedgehog facing them eyes widen. The other two turned around. Both of them and Martin eyes widen.
"Martin."
